Daily stress: what natural solutions can you use to maintain your balance?
In a world where the hectic pace of work, study, and personal commitments can take a toll on our well-being, finding natural solutions to maintain balance becomes essential.
Here are some proven strategies that can easily fit into a wellness routine.
Adopt a diet adapted to mental well-being
Our diet plays a key role in stress management. Certain nutrients are particularly involved in the functioning of the nervous system and the production of neurotransmitters linked to relaxation and mental vitality:
Vitamins B6, B2, and B12: These contribute to the proper functioning of the nervous system and help reduce fatigue. They are found in legumes, eggs, oily fish, and whole grains.
Magnesium: It is involved in muscle and nerve relaxation. It is naturally present in oilseeds (almonds, walnuts), green vegetables, and cocoa.
Selenium: It helps protect cells from oxidative stress, which can be exacerbated by prolonged stress. It is found in Brazil nuts, seafood, and seeds.
Focus on the benefits of plants traditionally used for mental well-being
Several plants have been recognized for centuries for their traditional use in supporting nervous balance. Among them:
🌿 Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis L.): Traditionally used to promote relaxation and mental well-being. It contains polyphenols, flavonoids, and phenolic acids, which have been studied for their potential role in relaxation and emotional balance.
🌿 Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea L.): Known as an adaptogenic herb, it is traditionally used to support mental activity and stress resistance. Its bioactive compounds, rosavins and salidrosides, are being studied for their potential effect on the body's adaptation to daily challenges.
These plant extracts can be consumed in the form of herbal tea, food supplements or sublingual sprays, which offer rapid absorption for an optimized effect.
